Our SSE adapter (currently in beta but production-ready) provides a way to receive a realtime stream of events from Ably in circumstances where using a full Ably Realtime client library, or even an MQTT library, is impractical or overkill. (Note that our adapter currently only works with MQTT 3.1.1 clients, not 3.1 - if that's an issue for you, please get in touch). If you don't see it here, try Googling it. Some IoT devices have MQTT support built in, and don't need a library at all.
Please note: this list is not comprehensive a lot of platforms have an MQTT library. MQTT is efficient, minimal, and widely supported. Our MQTT adapter is our recommended way of interacting with Ably from devices which do not have a native Ably client library SDK, where available. Find out more about how our protocol adapters work. Whilst we recommend using an official Ably client library SDK when available, our third party protocol support provides interoperability with a huge array of client libraries supporting every imaginable platform. The Ably platform supports a number of open standard and proprietary protocols, and is continuing to add more protocols over time.

The following official client library SDKs developed by Ably offer a consistent yet idiomatic API across every language. Find out when you should consider using message queues over pub/sub channels.ĭownload official Ably client library SDKs AMQP and STOMP protocols are supported with a huge selection of client libraries available. Where Ably does not currently provide native client library SDKs for your target platform, we offer the protocol adapter service that allows third party client libraries for other protocols such as MQTT to be used directly with the Ably platform.Ībly's Message Queues provide a reliable and straightforward mechanism for customers to consume, process, store, augment or reroute realtime data on your servers. REST libraries are typically used by server environments and provide a synchronous interface to Ably for publishing messages, token authentication, stats and message history for example. They also offer all the functionality available in the REST libraries providing access to REST authentication or history requests for example. Realtime libraries allow your devices, browsers or servers to maintain a persistent connection with Ably providing full-duplex publishing and near-instantaneous subscribing to messages and presence events. The Ably platform also provides a protocol adapters service providing open protocol support and interoperability with a huge array of third party client libraries supporting every imaginable platform. So regardless of your development environment or language, Ably keeps things simple for you by being consistent and predictable. All official client library SDKs developed by Ably offer a consistent yet idiomatic API across every language.
